“After watching a documentary on tv about acupuncture and speaking to a few people who have had treatments, I decided to give it a try to see if it could ease an on going back pain, which initially started out as a slipped disc
I contacted Oriental Medicine – Keith Ferris, who reassured me and said “no problem, come on in”. After my initial consultation I had my first treatment – which was wonderful – for the first time in a long time I had no pain (which was weird). I couldn’t believe it at first, then after a course of treatments I really felt myself healing and my muscles getting stronger.
Acupuncture really worked. I felt better within myself, I had more energy and I could do things normally like I did before I had my back problem. Now I am seeing Keith on an adhoc basis just to keep everything in check, and for some relaxation of course.
I have recommended Keith to my friends and family and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone”.

“Acupuncture was recommended by the fertility consultant at the hospital for my husband for impaired sperm function and I decided that it may be of benefit to me after my hormone levels were showing fertility levels that should be seen in a female 10 years senior to my age.
Keith did a thorough assessment of both my medical history and general well being and lifestyle and showed a confidence and knowledge in his diagnosis. This put me at ease that the treatment would be of great benefit to me.
After starting acupuncture treatment I could feel immediate positive effects on my hormone levels during my cycle as well as additional benefits of reduced stress levels and better sleep patterns.
Amazingly after treatment throughout one menstrual cycle I fell pregnant. I believe that the acupuncture had a definite place in contributing to my successful conception. I would recommend treatment as part of a holistic approach to fertility and healthy pregnancy.”

“I came to see Keith during my last pregnancy as I was 10 days overdue and the hospital were keen to induce me, I really didn’t want to be induced using drugs and had heard that acupuncture was a good natural alternative.
I saw Keith at 12.30pm, my waters broke at midnight and I had delivered a beautiful healthy girl by 5am, and was home in time for breakfast! Much better than using lots of drugs and chemicals. I would recommend acupuncture to anyone in my position.”

I have found over the months that my acupuncture treatment has been a life saver. For many years I have suffered on and off with depression. For the last ten years I have suffered from viruses due to my poor immune system, this has left me weak and unable to live a normal active life.
I’m finding since having acupuncture treatment with Keith I am beginning to feel not only physically better but, also, spiritually. I.e. meaning that I am looking forward to the future more optimistically.
Keith, when treating his patient, looks at you as a whole person. He recommends helpful information, such as, dietary and eating at regular interval during the day to keep blood sugar levels level. Also, advising on exercising and nutritional supplements and relaxation.
I fee extremely lucky, because, I have net a very experienced and accomplished acupuncturist with whom I have one hundred per cent trust in.

“I came to Keith suffering from a very sore ankle that had persisted for quite some time. Keith, after just 2 sessions was able to significantly alleviate the pain by 95% and I felt confident that I was able to resume exercise again.”

“I am a 48 year old male, who through too much time sport for too many years has irreversibly damaged his knee joints.
I have had lateral release operations on both knees to change the angle that the knee cap travels over the joint surface to try and avoid the areas where there is no cartilage remaining on the bone surface.
By February 2006 I was having to take 150mg per day of Diclofenac to keep the pain at a manageable level while carrying out everyday activities such as work, walking down stairs and walking the dog.
My surgeon has offered me kneecap replacements for both knees which after a number of years would need to be revised with total knee replacements. I neither wanted to start this course of surgery or continue on high does of pain killers for the rest of my life.
On February 2nd 2006 I started a course of acupuncture with Keith Ferris at The Oriental Medicine Practice, Bristol.
My aims of this course were,
1. to achieve the same of better level of pain relief without the need to subject my body to high levels of drugs, and,
2. to extend, possible indefinitely the time scale until I need more surgery
After 8 weeks and 10 sessions so far I feel we have had complete success in achieving 1, and only time will tell how successful we will be in achieving aim 2.”
